May's Wellbeing Walk. Our monthly mindful visit to a familiar green space. Walking together with mindful practices and space for quiet has become a rhythm through this year. Each visit is a waymarker for the movement through the year, season and our lives. This monthly act of self care reconnects us to ourselves, nature and others who we walk with. Nourishing, grounding, self affirming, cleansing. Message me if you'd like to come along - you'll be warmly welcomed.... 💚🙏💚 #rachelismindful #grateful #mindfulnessknaresborough #naturesmedicine #natureswisdom

Reiki with Rachel at Aimes Health and Beauty, Aspin Lane, Knaresborough An exciting new chapter starts for me this Spring! I'm so happy to now be offering Reiki treatments at the beautiful Aimes Health and Beauty on Mondays. I qualified in Usui Reiki in 2022 and have enjoyed sharing and experiencing the benefits of Reiki healing since then. Reiki has helped me personally with pain, sleep, relaxation and a chronic eye problem that wasn't responding to medication despite years of treatment. I love it! And would love to share it with you! 💚💜💙 Come and try it...... 💜 Allow yourself some quiet healing💜 💜 Restoration and relaxation guaranteed💜 💜 Gift yourself a break and some self care 💜 Here's an explanation - Reiki is a gentle and effective form of energy work promoting calm and healing.

Autumn Equinox energy! Celebration. Abundance. Growth. Sensory awareness in the kitchen garden at Fountains Abbey

Brew with a view. Taking a few moments to appreciate this space. Chattering magpies, freezing feet on cold flagstones, cool damp air, humming insects, fading flowers. The light and colours are mellowing into a new season. A small space, created by me, filled with meaning and things of pleasure. The longer I sit, the more I see. The more I see the more I see the support, love and connection it offers me when I allow myself to be fully present here. Table and chairs, a wedding gift from my parents Bird bath, a gift from a dear friend Plants I love, that I chose. Plants I love, that have been gifted over the years....a peony yet to flower, climbing hydrangea nestling quietly in the corner, fading pink roses, a plant chosen by my beautiful neice for my 40th birthday, favourite colours of purple and blue (verbena and agapanthus) - gosh I do love these. Battered wooden chairs, old, rehomed from my parents downsizing years ago. A garden space created by me and filled with love, my love of gardening and creating, spaces like this, things I love in it and gifts of love to me. The interconnectedness of these plants reminding me of my connections with others. Individuals yet community. Diverse, different, placed together and finding a harmony. Constant change, movement and flow through a short existence. Feeling grateful for my garden, all the above and the mindful practice of pausing, grounding and resting in a few moments of presence in my life 🙏 Also thankful for the wisdom I find in nature. Wishing you all a peaceful, connected day 💙 #mindfulnessinnature #natureheals #wisdominnature #grateful #rachelismindful

"Stay true to your own nature. If you like to do things in a slow and steady way, don't let others make you feel as if you have to race. If you enjoy depth, don't force yourself to seek breadth. If you prefer single-tasking to multi-tasking, stick to your guns. Being relatively unmoved by rewards gives you the incalculable power to go your own way." ~Susan Cain, "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking"

This morning' s Forest Meditation spot at Pool Bridge Farm Wellness Weekend June 2023 A beautiful group session beneath Oak trees encircled by rhododendrons. "Come home to the forest Where time goes slow and the breath is mellow. Where thoughts find rest and calm comes to nest. Come home to the wood's to be friends with the trees and listen to the breeze to wander through trails and mend your sails. Come home to nature when your heart is hurting or your soul needs healing When something feels wrong or you just need a place to belong. The forest awaits. Come home. Be healed" www.healingforest.org

Soothed by 30 seconds of stream sounds...... 💙
